Today was a good day. I enjoyed the discussions and Martha's lesson. I know she was stressing about teaching today, and I think she did a great job. When we did our reflections after the teaching demo, I wrote out a bunch of ideas that I thought I could use with Sendak's Wild Things book. I could have written more, but we had to move on. I plan to get back and add more tonight. Thanks, Martha for some great useful ideas. The other item that sticks out in my mind, is my different opinion about the Elbow reading today. After I read the text last night, I agreed with many of his ideas, and I could relate personal experiences with the thoughts. However, I thought at the end of the reading he was kind of rambling. (Please do not be offended all the Elbow fans.) After the class discussion, I found myself agreeing more and more with everyone's thoughts. Therefore, I need to go back and reread this information to see why I felt the way I did. I may see things differently, and I may not. I was tired and recovering from a migraine.
